Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin spice blend
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup canola oil
- 1 cup pure pumpkin puree
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature (for frosting)
- 4 cups powdered sugar (for frosting)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (for frosting)
- 1-2 tablespoons milk (to adjust frosting consistency)
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice blend (for decoration)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 13×18-inch baking sheet by greasing and dusting it with flour.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, pumpkin spice blend, baking soda, and sea salt, mixing them thoroughly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the canola oil, pumpkin puree, eggs, vanilla extract, and buttermilk until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
- Slowly incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and cream cheese until creamy and smooth.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until fully combined. Stir in the vanilla extract and add milk as needed to achieve your desired frosting consistency.
- After the cake has finished baking, allow it to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before applying the frosting.
- Once cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting generously over the top of the cake.
- Garnish with a light dusting of pumpkin spice blend for an extra touch. Cut into squares and enjoy!
Notes
- This delightful cake serves 24.
- For a healthier alternative, consider replacing half of the canola oil with unsweetened applesauce.
- You can also mix in chopped pecans or walnuts for added crunch.
- For a festive flair, drizzle caramel sauce over the frosted cake just before serving.
